Child sex-trafficking is a horrific crime that robs the innocence of its victims and causes significant physical, mental and emotional trauma. In the United States each year, approximately 300,000 children – at the average age of 12 – are prostituted against their will, forced to provide sexual acts for an average of 15 men a night.

Bridging Freedom’s mission is to combat minor sex-trafficking by bringing restoration to those rescued and victim prevention to those we reach with our message. We educate the community and work with partnering organizations to increase awareness about this horrendous issue.

We are also working to build Florida’s urgently needed therapeutic safe home campus community to provide long-term, comprehensive care to these victims in a secure environment. We are in the building and development phases and are gaining progressive momentum toward realizing our goal of providing this urgently needed healing solution.
